Disaster recovery and business continuity solutions play a critical role in the financial sector with risk management, data security and compliance becoming top priorities for CIOs today, according to Yasser Zeineldin, CEO at eHosting DataFort.

Challenging economic times and the recent occurrences of natural disasters are compelling organisations to invest in business continuity solutions that protect vital customer and business data to ensure the undisrupted functioning of critical business applications.

Zeineldin’s comments coincided with eHosting DataFort’s participation at the Middle East Financial Technology Exhibition and Conference (MEFTEC), the world’s premier financial technology event for emerging markets focusing on the Middle East, Africa and the South Asia (MEASA) region.
